A Vast Treasury of Art Just a Click Away

Thanks to this article in the New York Times -- "For Art History Scholors, Illumination Is a Click Away" -- I've learned of ARTstor, a fantastic online resource for viewing and learning about works of art.

Underwritten and supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, ARTstor makes available 300,000 images online (!). And, according to the article by Karen W. Arenson, ARTstor is designed to be particularly useful for educators and students studying works of art, offering well thought-through cataloguing and search systems. Their mission is "...to use digital technology to enhance scholarship, teaching and learning in the arts and associated fields."

Another amazing resource to explore!
